Brazil cancels state visit to US

(Vatican Radio) Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has scrapped a State Visit to Washington over the controversial revelations about US National Security Agency intelligence-gathering practices. Data from ex Intelligence Contactor Edward Snowden plainly shows that the National Security Agency- the NSA was snooping into President Dilma Rouseff's cyberspace and personal e mails, plus those of her advisors and Brazilian State Petroleum company Petrobus. She described the latter action as industrial espionage. Listen to this report from correspondent James Blears:

President Rousseff's initial fury, has been now been replaced by disillusionment. President Barack Obama pledged a full investigation. But Brazilian offcials say it's not being conducted in a timely manner, and a promise that such misbehavior won't happen again, hasn't been forthcoming.
The State Visit which was scheduled to start on October 23rd, would have been the first by a Brazilian President in eighteen years.
